Taylor says she’s really in a songwriting zone for her next album—and that leaves her tuned out sometimes.

The bad news: “I’m getting to that point where I’m irritating to be around because I’ll be with you for half the conversation and then the second half of the conversation I’m clearly editing the second verse of whatever I’m writing in my head,” she says.

Looks like Taylor, who usually writes songs alone, might be working with co-writers, like she did some for her current album, Red.

“I really loved collaborating,” she said. “You work with a lot of different people and you find the people you have this dream connection with in the studio. I know those people and I know the ones I want to go back to.

“But I also have a really long list of the people I admire and I would really love to go and contact. So that’s kind of where that is.”
